My Book
When Cancer Takes Flight: A humourous guide to dealing with the turbulence of breast cancer

When Cancer Takes Flight
Edited by Carolyn Watt / Cover by Kyle Kerr
​Cancer is no ordinary experience and this is no ordinary book.
​
 “Hang on to your hat—and your hair! In her book When Cancer Takes Flight, Debbie takes you on a journey that’s fraught with turbulence; but she’s a capable guide, manoeuvring the bumps with her quirky, ironic humour and her down-to-earth approach to cancer. I love how Debbie takes what could be a painful personal moment and turns it into a hilarious incident. At the end of When Cancer Takes Flight you’ll take a deep breath—appreciating that this is no ordinary ride, and your pilot is a force for any cancer to reckon with.” ~Nancy Hall-Chapman, friend to a terminal breast cancer patient, Toronto, Ontario

These are your reviewers speaking...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found it helpful and entertaining. The Boob Buddies emails provided a solid education to me prior to even knowing that I would be taking my own journey. I laughed out loud in several sections. This book will help many women through their breast cancer journey and provide some much needed relief through humour along the way. ~Linda Smith, Breast cancer survivor, Straffordville, Ontario

The book was a great read. As a person who has battled cancer I can relate to many of Debbie’s scenarios. I cried, smiled, and felt a range of other emotions as I read through the pages. This book is a good read for those who have been touched by cancer and for others to understand what a person may go through. ~Sally Davidson, Breast cancer survivor, Mount Albert, Ontario

​It was a very insightful book. Quite informative and honest. The section on lymphedema was very well done.
~Darlene Rahn RMT MLD/CDT, Guelph, Ontario
